英语语法题（74）P117,No.69

Mrs Lindon has ____that she is unable to get a job.
A.such little education B.so little education
C.a such little education D.a so small education
答案：B
分析：句意“林顿夫人只受过如此少的教育,以至不能够获得这份工作.”
这里主要是区分用such…that还是so…that.
education“教育,学历”,是不可数的抽象名词.只有这种情况例外：要说“一种良好的教育”,那么它就可以受到不定冠词的修饰而表述为a good education了.在这一题中,明显不是说一种…的教育,而是指受教育程度很少,是用作正常的不可数抽象名词,因此不能用冠词修饰.排除C,D.
另外,要特别注意：little在此是“几乎没有,一点,很少的”,表示的是否定的语气；而不是“小的”这个含义.
当名词前的形容词为表示数目的词,即有many/much/few /little（这里 little是“几乎没有,一点,很少的”的意思,而不是 “小的” ）修饰名词时,只能用so,不能用such.这是固定搭配.楼上的朋友是没有注意到这一点.所以排除A,选择B.
附：such和so的用法区别
1、such后面主要是修饰名词.即：such＋a/an＋adj.＋n.或a/an＋such＋adj.＋n..如果名词是不可数名词或复数名词,则不可以用不定冠词a或an.如：
①He has such a beautiful bike.We all go to see it.
②It's a such fine day.We all want to go to fly a kite.
2、so后面一般只能跟形容词或副词.即：和so＋adj./adv..不过,so后面也可以跟名词,但该名词必须是单数可数名词.用法为：so+形容词+a/an+单数可数名词.如：
①The tiger is so big.And the cat is so small.
②She is so lovely a girl.
3、它们后面还可以与that从句连用.即：such…that和so…that意思是“如此……以致……”.这时的区别也同上两点.如：
①She is such a clever girl that she can make much progress in math
exam.
②His brother is so young that he can't go to school.
注意：当名词前的形容词为表示数目的词,即有many/much/few /little（这里 little是“几乎没有一点”的意思,而不是 “小的” ）修饰名词时,such必须换成so.这是固定搭配.如：
①There are so many people that we can't go past.
②I ate so much food that I didn't want to go any farther.
看这一句话：He is such a little boy that he can't read or write.
这一句话中的a little不是“一点”的意思,而是“一个小的”的意思,所以,前面仍然用such,而不用so.
给你两道很典型的题（看完上面的分析和总结,这两题应该不难了.）：
He had______little education that he can't teach _____little children
A.so;such B.expression C.condition D.translation（附：答案为A）
It was surprising that____ little animals eat ____ much grass．
A．so；soB．such；so C．such；such D．so；such（附：答案为B）

A
such...that...搭配，连接little education&unable to get a job表示因果
